Modern Luxury Men’s Book Chicago

Adventures: Back in the Swing

By David Zivan

Jack Nicklaus. Arnold Palmer. Lee Trevino. Perhaps you’ve heard of them? What you may not have known is that each of those legendary swingers designed courses at Lake Geneva. A longtime destination for Chicagoans seeking respite from city life, the area offers many pleasures, but none surpass the variety of its golf options – 11 courses in all. There’s The Brute, for instance: a 7,000-yard, par-72 danger zone area at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, where rates start at $79 and a hole-in-one challenge touts a $10,000 prize. Or, along Geneva National, enjoy stunning overlooks of Lake Como – but, as ever, we recommend you keep your head down. visitlakegeneva.com
